Chapter 7 Building a Process Service Diagram

Creating a Process Service Diagram

You can create a process service diagram using different methods:

From a new BPM
From an existing BPM

Note that when you create a process service diagram from a new BPM, it is equivalent to creating a process service diagram from an existing BPM, as you must first create a business process diagram in order to create the process service diagram. Then you can use one of the different methods to create a diagram from an existing model. Beside you create process service diagram s only in models whose process language or extended definition does not exclude the Service Provider metaclass from the model.

For more information about creating a process service diagram in a new BPM, see section Creating a BPM, in chapter Getting Started with the Business Process Model.

For more information about creating a process service diagram in an existing BPM, see section Creating a new diagram, in chapter Managing Models in the General Features Guide .

The Process Service Diagram tool palette contains the following objects:

Selection and zoom tools (for example Pointer or Zoom In tool)
Graphical tools (for example Package or File tool)

The sole object creation tool is the Service Provider tool that allows you to create services.

For more information about extended objects and links, see section Defining extended objects and links, in chapter Managing Objects in the General Features Guide .
